Great keyboard feel
Yamaha is well known for making its own keyboard actions. The KX series
derives its superior feel from a long lineage of Yamaha pianos and
keyboards with its own high-quality Yamaha keyboard action. With the
addition of four assignable control knobs, dedicated performance
controls, and DAW integration controls for soft synths and sequencers
functions, the KX Series is a complete USB MIDI Studio that is as
comfortable on stage as it is in the studio.
More than just a controller
The KX Series enables easy song creation with its built-in arpeggio
function. Inspired by the Motif ARP phrases, these arpeggios can be
played back by the included HALion One softsynth using sound content
from the Yamaha Motif or the VST Mega Pack Bundle featuring exclusive
content from IK Multimedia, BFD, and Arturia. A dedicated control
section on the KX enables complete control of sounds and content.
Music production right out of the box
The KX includes Cubase AI, a special "Advanced Integration" version of
Steinberg's legendary music production software. Cubase AI is
conveniently controlled via a dedicated control section on the KX,
turning it into a complete music production solution. The KX Series is
also bundled with the new X Factor DVD from Yamaha. This DVD contains a
massive collection of sounds and VST instruments form industry leaders
like IK Multmedia, Sonic Reality, FXpansion, Arturia and Keyfax. In
addition to the bundled sounds there are thousands of dollars worth of
rebate coupons and added values from Antares, ASK Video, Broadjam,
